Code of Conduct for OSCE PA Election Observers
Respect the Laws of the Country and the Authority of Electoral Bodies
Observers will comply with all national laws and regulations of the host country and the authority of the bodies in
charge of administering the electoral process. Observers will not take any unnecessary or undue risks. Each
observer’s personal safety overrides all other considerations.
Respect the Integrity of the Election Observation Mission
Observers will attend all required mission briefings and debriefings and adhere to the deployment plan and all other
instructions provided by the Election Observation Mission. Observers will remain on duty throughout Election
Day, including observation of the vote count and, if instructed, the next stage of tabulation.
Maintain Strict Political Impartiality at All Times
Observers will maintain strict impartiality in the conduct of their duties and will, at no time, publicly express or
exhibit any bias or preference in relation to national authorities, parties, candidates, or with reference to any issues
in contention in the election process.
Do Not Obstruct Election Processes
Observers will undertake their duties in an unobtrusive manner and will not interfere in the electoral process.
Observers may raise questions with election officials and bring irregularities to their attention, but they must not
give instructions or countermand their decisions.
Provide Appropriate Identification
Observers will carry any prescribed identification issued by the host government or election commission and will
identify themselves to any authority upon request.
Refrain from Making Comments to the Public or the Media
Observers will not make any comments to the media on the electoral process or on the substance of their
observations, and any comment to the media will be limited to general information about the observation mission
and the role of the observers. Observers will inform media about any intended post-election statements to be issued
by the leadership on behalf of the observation mission.
Accuracy of Observations and Professionalism
Observers will base all conclusions on their personal observations or on clear and convincing facts or evidence.
Observers will exhibit the highest levels of personal discretion and professional behaviour at all times.
* * *
I have read and understand the above Code of Conduct. I hereby confirm that I will follow the Code of
Conduct and that all of my activities as an election observer will be conducted completely in accordance with it. I
have no conflicts of interest, political, economic nor other, that will interfere with my ability to be an impartial
election observer and to follow the Code of Conduct.
I understand that serious violations of this Code of Conduct may result in the withdrawal of my
accreditation or my dismissal from the election observation mission. The authority for such determinations
rests solely with the leadership of the election observation mission.

To: Heads of OSCE PA Delegations
CC: Secretaries of OSCE PA Delegations
7 February 2017
Dear Heads of Delegations,
The 2 April 2017 has been announced as the date for the parliamentary elections in
Armenia, and the OSCE PA will deploy an election observation mission to these important
elections.
Please find attached a registration form for Members wishing to observe these elections.
We kindly ask you to return the completed form with a copy of the photograph page from
Members’ passports, a digital photo, and the completed Code of Conduct for OSCE PA Election
Observers to the International Secretariat at (eom@oscepa.dk) as soon as possible, but no
later than 3 March 2017. Please note that due to registration procedures, we may not be able to
accommodate those who register after the deadline.
To ensure geographical balance within the Assembly mission, each national delegation
may nominate up to 10% of the entire participation. We therefore invite each national
delegation to nominate up to six participants.
Further information, including a detailed programme, will be distributed to participants
soon. Briefings for the mission are expected to be held during the 2 days before election day in
Yerevan, and Members are reminded that in accordance with the OSCE PA’s Astana Declaration
of 2008, participants are expected to attend the full briefing programme as well as the de-
briefing on the day following the election.
I wish to remind you that national parliaments are responsible for their Members’
expenses and that only English interpretation will be provided in meetings and briefings.
Yours sincerely,
Iryna Sabashuk
Head of Administration for Election Observation
